Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Winter's here, and there's a carpet of deep snow covering the Green Forest and the nearby meadow — which means Reddy Fox and Granny Fox are having trouble finding food. Reddy, of course, is full of reckless ideas, such as getting into Farmer Brown's chicken house in daylight. Using the wisdom she's acquired over the years, Granny overrules many of Reddy's foolhardy suggestions, taking the conceit out of a youngster who thinks he knows more than anyone else. Granny also teaches Reddy quite a bit about patience, common sense, and resourcefulness A timeless fable by master storyteller Thornton W. Burgess, Old Granny Fox will delight youngsters with an entertaining story while teaching important lessons — in a painless and enjoyable way — about wildlife, the environment, and personal conduct.

Acerca do autor
Thornton W. Burgess (1874-1965) was an American author and conservationist whose enchanting animal stories captivated generations of children and adults alike. Born in Sandwich, Massachusetts, Burgess was deeply influenced by the natural beauty of Cape Cod, which became a recurring backdrop in his works. Over his prolific career, he penned more than 170 books and 15,000 stories, often featuring anthropomorphic animals that taught moral lessons and celebrated the wonders of nature.Burgess's literary contributions extend beyond mere storytelling; he was a pioneering voice in early 20th-century environmentalism. His narratives subtly wove in themes of conservation and respect for wildlife, reflecting his own commitment to these causes. He was a contemporary of Beatrix Potter and Kenneth Grahame, and his works influenced later writers like Richard Scarry and Eric Carle, who also focused on animal characters and educational themes.One of the most intriguing aspects of Burgess's life was his ability to balance his literary career with his environmental activism. He founded the Green Meadow Club, an organization dedicated to promoting nature study and conservation among young people. Despite his popularity, Burgess faced criticism from some literary circles for his didactic approach, which some deemed overly simplistic. However, his enduring legacy lies in his ability to inspire a love for nature and a sense of responsibility towards the environment in his readers.Thornton W. Burgess remains a significant figure in both children's literature and the conservation movement, reminding us of the timeless connection between storytelling and the natural world.
